 Two guys ordered a taxi to take them from their home to another residential
address. The taxi arrived and drove them to the address, where the taxi driver
was asked to wait, as the men said that they would not be long. 
 Sure enough, a short while later the men re-appeared carrying, amonst a few
other things, a tv and a video recorder. They got back into the taxi and
were driven home, where they found they did not have the money to pay the
fare, so they then asked the driver to take them to a shop where the video
recorder was taken in and sold for cash. When they arrived home again the
taxi driver was paid in full.
 By this time the taxi driver was a little more than suspicious of the
evenings activities and so informed the police. The police then visited the
two men and later arrested them on charges relating to theft.

Funny story, yes, but it ACTUALLY happend in Chicago, a couple of days ago!
As the subject line says, are these guys for real ?

ps. The events happened AFTER April 1.
